You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

Thank you, Admiral. Ok, let's get it moving.

"Mr Gaeta, do we have the results of Boomer's scouting mission yet?"

"She's just popped back in range, sir. Boomer, what have you found? ...Boomer?"

"...I've found some very interesting results, Mr Gaeta. I've found that the history of mankind is a never-ending tale of warfare. I've found that the only constants of human nature are decadence and cruelty. And I've found that even after God visited His divine punishment upon the Colonies, the remnants refuse to repent. Corruption, greed and depravity pervade the fleet, from the lowliest ship rats to the highest office. Humanity has been passed through the testing fire, and its true character -- its shame -- stands revealed. You have fled your homes, you have tried to leave behind the evidence of your sin, but you cannot escape the judgment of the True God! This is my message to the Fleet! The One God sees your sin!"

"Uh... sir? Her raptor is broadcasting to the rest of the fleet. We -- We can't jam it. It's some kind of code, it's -- Admiral! The civilian ships are moving -- towards the Cylons!"

"Frak! Scramble vipers, get them between the civvies and those raiders. Decode that signal now, Gaeta!"

"I think I've got it, sir. Sending it to you now."

"What the frak is she sending to those ships? What the -- "CEILING CAT IS WATCHING YOU MASTURBATE"?! The Hell?"

Action 1: Check out ships B and C, and move them to Sector 4.
Action 2: Reveal loyalty card: You Are A Cylon - Can Damage Galactica.
Don't mind if I do. Mr Mod, might I request a selection of damage tokens? Ta ever so.

Signed,

Boomer Go Boom Boom

DAMN.

I think you mean "HOT DAMN". I mean, come on. That was sexy!

It's like déjà vu all over again.

You've encountered ceiling cat-related incidents before, I take it.

It's almost as if someone is talking, but there's no one there.

Whoa. Talk about déjà vu, this is just like my birthday.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Well, frak.

I've got some ideas on what to do next, but I guess we have to see what part of the ship she decides to blow up first.

Thoughts on how to move next? If someone can XO me I can use my once per game to get 6 vipers in the air or to just move and attack.

The mod's sent me my choice of damage tokens. It is just like my birthday.

"Apollo, shoot Boomer's raptor down! Do it now!"

"Admiral? You-- you want me to take out Boomer?"

"She's been playing us! Get her before she destroys anything else!"

"Sir, she's alongside the FTL Control. There's a risk I could damage --"

"Just do it! That's an order!"

t crackle "Well, Admiral, I can tell when I'm not wanted. It's been fun, gotta run. Ta-ta!"

"Sir, she's spooling up to jump! She's too close to the ship, it'll --"

t Boomer's raptor jumps away, tearing a hole in the FTL Control, and taking with it Admiral Tigh's secret stash. Sadly, at that very moment Admiral Tigh had been getting intimate with said secret stash.

"NOOO!! MY BOOZE, MY BOOOOZE!!"

Orders: Play Damage tokens: FTL Control, Food Resource. -1 Food, FTL Control damaged, Tigh to Sickbay.

Final order of business, I discard the following cards:
Yellow 1
Yellow 1
Purple 2
Purple 2
Red 1

(See? I really did have two scouting missions. Would I steer you wrong?)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

Wow! :: eats popcorn ::

...

Oh crap, right. I'm the GM. Can't just watch. I gotta take care of business.

As Boomer mentioned, FTL is out of business. Food took a ding. Tigh is in sickbay (maybe sobering up a bit?).

And I thought it meant of end of turn recap. Alas. This isn't Boomers turn, it's sickboy Admiral! So we get to play a crisis card. Oh wait, Boomer said she'd scout that puppy out... huh... I think she used all her actions already. Should we let her scout it anyway? OK, maybe not. Let's see what the Gods of Kobol have in mind for you!

Good news, you have half as many folks trying to spike the check! Sweet, huh?
